This is exactly what I was going to say. People can be sad about more than one thing at a time--we humans are all complex and stuff like that. Having a thread about this doesn't mean no one cares about those in Norway. It means thoughts and prayers for them are over in the Norway thread.

Funny how people can rant about seeing no respect for another's opinions yet they have no respect for another's death. One is not an idiot for having a different opinion but one is surely an idiot for essentially saying "I took all of this time and effort to come tell you this isn't worth my time and effort." I seriously hope none of these people post on here that their mother died and get the response, "Screw your mom, we're in a budget crisis."

Oh and bee tee dubs: Sen and Phil are awesomesauce.

Why do I have a feeling that if this was someone who wasn't a mess because of drugs, everyone would have just come in here and said, "RIP Amy," and left it at that?

This is exactly the example I was going to use after reading through the first of these ridiculous comments. If Michael Jackson died yesterday, I'm pretty sure no one would have come into a thread about his death saying, "This doesn't matter!!! Pay attention to Norway!!!!!!!!"

Exactly. And you know that if it was THEIR family member who was on drugs and died, they wouldn't be singing the same tune.
